This moment was just unbelievable to me. I don’t understand the unwillingness to even consider if he was in the wrong in this situation - what do you have to gain by not even questioning if perhaps you were mistaken after so much time? 

Chadwick Boseman. It’s not based on my attachment to his work, though I have always thought he was very talented and I particularly appreciated how lovely of a human he seemed to be, and how gracefully he navigated the impact he had as Black Panther. However, the circumstances - his age, being in the prime of his…

I saw his second to last show ever at the hollywood bowl. I’m on the young side to be a big fan but I am and I had never seen him before. Of course, the show was ridiculously great, one of the best shows I have ever been to. 

Patrick Swayze is the first person I think of, too. I think a lot of it has to do with how vital he seemed - he just reverberates with life on screen. It feels like he should be immortal, and the fact that he wasn’t, plus that he died relatively young is a gut punch. Forever a favorite. <3

I also noticed how weird his mask looked and how ill-fitting it was. I wonder if he was unprepared or had a mask issue that ended with him having to wear some other person’s back-up mask. I have a hard time believing he got dressed this AM and was like...yes, for this historic moment, let’s go for this tiny mask…

You can die for me but god forbid you use my toilet. They are truly grotesque.

As someone who once had a stats teacher tell me they didn’t want to “give away the answer” when I asked a question, I appreciate your approach to teaching. 

I’ve always considered the ideal to be having some sort of high quality second bed in the house at a minimum so you can comfortably sleep apart if you need to. Could also function as a guest bedroom if you aren’t the type of couple who feels the need to sleep apart all the time. My partner and I sleep very well in a…

I don’t get it either. It all seems to be driven by some deep-seated beliefs around moral goodness as it applies to wealth and poverty, and perhaps some even uglier stuff about gender and race to boot if we’re being honest. It’s not inherently evil to have means, even a lot more means than others, and it’s not by…

Shonda’s frustration with Disney makes more sense if you’re at all familiar with just how often Disney Corporate doles out access to parks in employment and licensing packages. I went to Disneyland a ton of times as a kid, not because my family was rich, but because my dad happened to be close friends with someone who…

This, 100%. There is no one just sitting around monitoring corporate communications actively looking for...what? Baby stuff? This doesn’t hold up to any reasonable scrutiny.

Yeah, and to me, that is what sucks about this whole situation. I don’t know if there was sex-specific precedent before, but this clearly seems to set some, and it’s not great for fathers. Not saying I support Disney’s decision or policies here -just seems like it wasn’t a very strong case in terms of the legal…

This doesn’t seem as clean cut as I expected from the headline. The allegations of hacking are really weird given how corporate IT works - without some sort of physical evidence to confirm validity for a judge, I don’t know how he’d prove he was fired specifically because of pregnancy discrimination. Not sure if…

I’m so sorry you are having to shut down. Hopefully one day in the future you can resume something similar! If I was one of your clients I’d run back in joy, thankful that you had thought of my safety.

This is constant in the US as well. Funny how I’ve only ever heard this from people who are resistant to curbing their activities and who speak very decidedly on most topics. You’re sure about everything else without evidence and now you feign confusion? Yeah...I see you.

It’s exactly what you are imagining. 

This is beyond stupid. You don’t need the government to tell you that an indoor spin studio would be a horrible place to be in a pandemic spread through respiratory droplets, let alone aerosols. I’ve never seen a spacious spin studio - they are all tightly packed and in small rooms with low ceilings and little…

Finally saw the episode last night and the tone was beyond weird even for them. All the cliches were there, but there was an uncanny valley aspect to it, like everyone was pretending to be humans on the bachelorette instead of being ACTUAL humans on the bachelorette. It felt very clearly like everyone was acting, even…

Yeeeeeaaah, the tone that whole passage is written in does not sit well. At all.

This. It’s not a question of if 45 will attempt to steal the election, it’s simply a matter of how well his attempts will work, how much time it will take and chaos it will cause to fight his power grab.
